    My tour was absolutely outstanding. My driver was perfect and the drive was comfortable and pleasant. He was able to answer all questions and in most instances, accompanied me and answered my questions for the sites. The best part was the elephant safari. After a slow start, I saw so many of these fantastic beasts that it gave me the best memories of Sri Lanka. Though I was a solo traveler and the elephants were my favorite part, this was the perfect tour and I wholeheartedly recommend it and this company.

    Overall, we were very happy with the tuk tuk tour to Mihintale Anuradhapura. It was a great way to see the location and learn about its history. We would definitely recommend it to others.

    During our first visit to Sri Lanka, we had an amazing experience with Ceylon Classic Tours. Our tour guide, Supun, was extremely kind and polite and even took great photos for us! Throughout our two-week trip, we had a different adventure every day, making it one of the most memorable travels we have ever experienced. If you are planning to visit Sri Lanka, we highly recommend booking with Ceylon Classic Tours - we are definitely planning to return!

    Spent a very enjoyable couple of hours walking round Galle Fort. We learned a lot about the long history and culture of the Fort and Sri Lanka too. It made our stay even better as we were aware of the heritage of the place around every corner. Seeing the turtles was an unexpected bonus. It was an easy (if hot) walk and I would recommend it to anyone

    We had a great time with Roshan and Chathu during our 5 day tour. We had a varied and interesting tour around Sri Lanka which certainly suited our interests. Roshan guided us around his home town of Galle, he is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Rhoshans attention to detail was brilliant.
    We stayed in Unawatuna which was a delightful village with an amazing beach.
    Chathu took us to the koggala lake boat ride, we fed a little baby monkey who came on our boat. We were able to get off the boat a few times and met the locals. We had an interesting visit to a tea plantation.
    We then headed to the udawalawe safari which was amazing seeing the elephants in their natural habitat. We saw baby elephants, and saw the elephants enjoying mud baths. They came close to the jeep which couldn’t have been better. We saw loads of deer and a crocodile and loads of monkeys and wild beasts and birds. We had a lovely picnic lunch in the park.
    We then moved on to Ella which is a beautiful part of Sri Lanka with jungle areas and epic waterfalls. We had a walk up Little Adams Peak which was real good fun jumping in the tuk tuks. We also saw the nine arches bridge which was impressive.
    We had a long drive back to Colombo and stopped at polhena beach for lunch. Overall we had a fantastic tour, a big thank you to Roshan and to Chathu who is good fun and looked after us so well. Many thanks from the pensioners on tour. Graham and Jenny

    It's a long way to Pollonaruwa so better to be prepared for a long ride. Mr. Aaron ( my driver) is well experienced and knows the streets. He is very helpful asking if everything is ok and making sure to have enough stops all the way.

    About the excursion itself whatever I say it's not going to be enough. The museum even though it's very small has really well maintained artifacts ( especially bronze made Gods figures).

    The site is a little away from the museum but the mini bus will take you directly there. There is one complex divided into 3 areas, the Palace, the temples and the monastic community.

    My tour guide, Mr. Gamini, added so much value to the trip. He was explaining everything in great details and replied my questions making the day a really unique experience.

    In conclusion, it's really a worthy tour. The team has created a very beautiful package and is really recommended.

    PS. Make sure to have water with you and as the site has many temples, modest clothing is required (otherwise the entrance to the temples may be denied)
